[Aepsilons]

The clerk tried to stop him but when u are 1 foot taller and weigh 70 kg more the other guy is lucky to survive

The same kid on a interview with CNN yesterday said, that he is against violence and the fight for justice will go on. Oh the irony in this whole thing is truly amusing.

@SvenSvensonov your thoughts on this.

I'm in no position to defend or refute the indictment, I don't have access to the level of information the prosecution and defense did, but I can say that the response to the verdict was both predicable and disgusting. "Justice" is often demanded by protesters, but justice is only so if it fits their views... otherwise its a travesty that demands a response. I understand the frustrations of the protesters, they have been letting us know for over a month, but rioting is the wrong way to let your opinions be heard. What did the shop keepers, car owners and local economy do to deserve riots?!? Nothing, and yet people take their frustrations out on themselves and harm their own towns. It's ridiculous. I understand their frustrations and in Ferguson the problems run deeper then just this incident, but there is a right and wrong way to make changes and rioting is the worst way to go forward.

Would it be "justice" to indite the officer just to appease the protesters, even if he actually wasn't guilty of any wrongdoings? No, and this is what the protesters demand. Their justice, not anyone else's.

Irony of it all. No respect at all.

No one has the right to demand "their way" of justice, period. I get so annoyed at how the African American community always, always use the race card. You know what, during WWII, the entire Japanese-Americans were placed into Concentration Camps by the United States for fear of the Japanese-Americans aiding the Japanese Empire during the war.

You know that?

Yet Japanese Americans didn't riot, or destroy businesses. They followed and obeyed the laws of the host country. And you know what else? Japanese Nissei , or 2nd Generation Japanese-Americans even enlisted into the United States Armed Forces and fought Nazis in Europe. Some even were sent to the Pacific. Talk about doing it the proper way.

My greatest problem in these types of incidents is the need to see someone else suffer. Why do we even need a trial if the person to be tried is already guilty in the eyes of the public and they demand blood? Again, I'm in no position to make a judgement either way and to be honest I stopped caring about Ferguson quite a while ago... it just doesn't make a difference to me, on the ground, in a different state.

To illustrate the problems I have, I'll let this opinion piece from The Guardian do the talking for me:

Obama failed Ferguson. The prosecutor is pathetic. Between the split-screen, the protesters get it | Steven W Thrasher | Comment is free | The Guardian

I like the "Graun", but its coverage of the events in Ferguson has been brutal to say the least. After reading this my only thought was, "what the hell does Obama have to do with anything" and yet people demand blood and will not except any other outcome, even if they have to take their fight to the doorstep of people that don't have a stake in it.

The author of the article expects Obama to intervene and indict the officer just because he is black!!! What the hell is this?!?!?!?

The law may have spoken but the Ferguson verdict is not justice | Gary Younge | Comment is free | The Guardian

This article calls for "justice" as the law apparently failed the protesters.

Ferguson, goddamn: No indictment for Darren Wilson is no surprise. This is why we protest | Syreeta McFadden | Comment is free | The Guardian

I can go on, and on, and on with similar articles all describing a lack of "justice"

I don't care about race, I find all people to be of equal value to me. If you get along with me, I get along with you... irrespective of your national origins, sexual orientation (I have gay and bi sexual friends), race, religion, economic standing, I just don't care so long as you are my friend. I don't care for politics either, it's all garbage as far as I'm concerned. Too much complaining and not enough action. But I do believe in peace and stability and demanding blood represents neither of these traits.

To all people... I'm none to interested in politics of any kind. If you want my view point ask me about medicine or military affairs/equipment, I don't like to stray too far into these types of discussions. I don't mind occasionally offering my views and I thank @Krate M for asking for my views, I was happy to acquiesce in this instance, but a prolonged discussion isn't in my interest.

100% correct. The WWII Japanese-American experience has been part of many U.S. middle- and high-school curricula since the 1990s.

I repeat: the Ferguson affair reflects mostly local, not national - or even regional - concerns. People are tired of a local police force that all too often didn't explain its actions very well. Note how the riots did not spread to surrounding counties or nearby St. Louis city.

Weight (in this case a significant portion of fat as well) and height are not as important as you put it... the way the black dude is holding the clerk would have given the smaller man around half a dozen good points of attack to defend himself.

Granted that he has some knowledge about martial arts....

O chance...........one hard punch would have killed the clerk.

Sir, I dont i understand why this local issue is being lambasted into the national lime light? I live in New Jersey, I could care less what's going on in Missouri.

Considering his height, it would have been the "easiest" solution.. followed by a punch into another area (eg. neck ..)
